A few drops may be too many. The veteran user of picric acid In i , gasoline knows bis danger, but he .{pours it In his tank, climbs aboard' and turns the egine loose, trusting to his stars, his luck, his patron i saint and all the good spirits. At i I any minute something may happen, i and then again he may race for i years without having any trouble. There are others who pin their , I faith to a mere pinch off the end of a stick of dynamite when they 1 go into a race. This tiny bit of' [ explosive Is pinched oft the end of < a dynamite cartridge and allowed. to dissolve Id the gasoline. When the engine is set a going the prac; tlced ear can tell there is some- i j thing wrong with the clatter of the < machinery. In spite of the open mufflers and the consequent crash ' and roar every motorcycle or auto- t mobile driver looks at his neighbor and shakes his head. It Is a deI monical drumming that such a "doped" engine gives out. There is nothing healthy nor Srholesome about it. It is like the uncanny ; prancings of a "doped" race horse J it lines up for the start. Some of the racing autoists use ether In their gasoline. A couple ofj ounces to the gallon is more than j enough. It has a real advantage in that It aids in cooling the machinj ery. It is its power of evaporation iihat gives It this quality. However, j the motor driver does not use it be- , j cause of its cooling powers. He , uses it because he is able to get II more power out of his engine, and j more power means more speed, and more speed may mean the cup, the ; prise money and all the honor and ' glory that comes from the winning of a speed classic. 1 j Say "nitroglycerine" to the aver- j age person and he will shy away from you with a flurried expression | on his countenance. He does not care for it. That is the fluid from], which guncottcn, torpedoes, bombs and various other destructive things j are made. Some enterprising en-j gine driver experimented with it! ( 'one day and found that it would j. I make the wheels go round a little ! faster and a little harder when put I in gasoline. Soon dozens or riders and drivers were using it for that 1 purpose. i Now nearly every professional lows all about It. But little id about these tricks for fear that spectators might think that j were in unuger or oeing mown i ?y a general explosion. They < rowd the turns and hug the i ou8 places while a big race if ; .o it doesn't seem that the driv- 1 j should worry much about the 1 crowds. They seem to hunt danger 1? anyway. |< A few of the crack motorcyclists:. of the country have adopted the ;' plan of putting a couple of ordinary] moth balls in their gasoline tanks' and allowing them to thoroughly dissolve before starting on a race, j i This has much the same effect on the engine that some of the other j j tricks that require a few drops of' 'some high explosive. The sole purpose of all these I tricks is to develop more power. I They would probably use ray nitroglycerine if they supposed that their '! machines would hold together un' j der the force of its explosions. * Any man that will sit bumbed upon top of a machine weighing about '.inn ??-11 - ? ?-?- ? aw iivuuua wuiie oaia macuine is tearing through space at the rate of | ninety miles an hour will risk most! ;, anything. It is like showing a lump of raw ! ' meat to a hungry tiger to feed a: strong gasoline engine a little pic- j ric acid or nitroglycerine. It Is I savage thing enough when it is running under the stress of clean,) I honest gasoline, but it yammers and 1 chortles like a tigress when it 's fed a few drops of one of these high explosives. There is a sa' - ery in its poundings and < lings. When the race be"1 the very heat of the cr it almost racks itself tenings. Naturally '"do | usually , restrict being used b When race pr I the purpose of allowing the expanded gases to escape more quickly. The race horse man and its horse trader were long looked upon < the "cutest" gentry that were ever connected in any way with horse flesh. They will have to retire tc the rear in favor of the newest sport of the racing world. Men are able to perform as many shady tril?lra wrUK ma?Kl??A? ? ?v?o TT ?vu (ucivuiuvr/ ub iuey e*ci were with horae flesh. There Is no real difference In sending an old nag to the post "doped" sufficiently to keep him on his feet through a race and in feeding picric to a gasoline engine for the purpose ol making It win. Seeing that the purpose of using these high explosives is to increase speed and that the higher aud more destructive the better the results, why not use a few pinches ol "Dunnite," that terrible new and secret eplosive owned by the United States and see just what would happen to the adventurous soul who was trying the experiment? The Prayer of a Horse. (The following appeal from the pen of F. H. Bugher, First Deputy Police Commissioner of the Metropolis.) To Thee my Master, I offer my prayer. ( Feed me, water and care for me, and when the day's work if done provide me with shelter, a clean, dry bed and a stall wide enough for me to lie down in comfort. Thlk to me. Your voice often means as much to me as the reins Pet me sometimes, that I may serve you the more gladly and learn tc love you. Do not jerk the reins, and do not whip me when going uphill. Xevei strike, kick or beat me when I dc not understand what you want. But give me a chance to understand you. Watch me, and if 1 fail tc do your bidding, see if something is not wrong with my harness 01 feet. Examine my teeth when 1 do not eat. I may have an ulcerated tooth and that, you know, is very painful. Do not tie my head in an unnatural position, or take away my best defense against flits and mosquitoes by cutting off my tail. And finally, O my Master, when my useful strength is gone, do not Klirn mo nut tn aturvn nr frooin nr sell me to some cruel owner to be slowly tortured and starved tc death; but do Thou, my Master, Lake my life in the kindest way and your God will reward you here and hereafter. You will not consider me irreverent if 1 ask you this in the name of Him who was born in a stable. Amen. PROFESSIONAL CARDS DR. L. R. CRAIG, Residence 'Phone 136. Office 'Phone 138.
